The amendment that has had the greatest impact on increasing civil rights is the **Fourteenth Amendment**.
Ratified in 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment includes important clauses that grant citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, provides equal protection under the laws, and prohibits states from denying any person due process. This amendment has been the basis for many landmark Supreme Court cases that have advanced civil rights, including Brown v. Board of Education, which ended racial segregation in public schools, and Roe v. Wade, which addressed women's rights. Thus, its influence on civil rights is significant compared to the other amendments listed.
